Bee eater

[Gerhard Weldhagen]

Another shot of a female Rainbow Bee Eater taken during this past weekend. As previously mentioned this bird was co-operative, allowing me to line it up with a distant hill and vegetation for a smooth back ground effect. Canon 1DxII, EF 600 IS II + 1.4TCIII, f8, ISO 800, 1/1600, handheld. Processed with PS CC, NIK Dfine, Van Cittert deconvolution sharpening algorithm, cropped for composition.

Thanks for looking, comments appreciated.

I like this one much better then the last. The yellow below the eye band is still lacking detail seems flat. TFS

Agree with Joe's comment ,I do like the nice clean simplicity of the shot of these beautiful birds,excellent BG to sit it all on.

This one is far nicer than the last IMHO, very clean, and having the bird almost parallel with the sensor really helps. I like the loose framing.

Super image the colors of the bird really makes it stand out against the BG
